This is a drawing of a hunter with his dog. The image shows the hunter standing over a dog lying on its back with its legs in the air. The dog appears playful and exaggerated. In the background, a rabbit is running away over a hill. The sky has softly drawn clouds, and there is French text at the top and bottom. The setting is minimal, focusing on the interaction between the hunter, dog, and rabbit.
